- Fetherstonhaugh
One time Fetherston's sister got very sick and they sent for the priest unknown to Fetherston. When Fetherston saw the priest coming he locked all the doors and he went down to the gate where the priest was. Fetherston said he would not let the priest in the gate. The priest who was on horse back said that he would gallop through the fence but Fetherston said he would not let him in. The priest said to him to stand back and to stand there until he would go out. Fetherston had to stand there and the priest went in to the girls and she died a Catholic. When the priest came out he told him that he could go in.
